Creamy Ricotta Pancakes with Honey

Ingredients
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
Full-fat ricotta is best for toddlers' energy needs.
1 large egg
2-3 tbsp whole milk
1 tsp honey
ONLY for toddlers 12 months and older.
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp unsalted butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese, egg, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.
In a separate small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with a small amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil.
Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool to a safe temperature. Serve as they are or cut into bite-sized pieces for easier handling.
Storage
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat gently in a toaster or pan.
